Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a cutting insert for a milling tool.
  • the present disclosure also relates to a milling tool.
  • a milling tool is a rotating cutting tool, which may be provided with one or more replaceable cutting inserts.
  • a square shoulder milling tool is configured for forming a square angle between two surfaces milled in a workpiece in a milling operation with the square shoulder milling tool.
  • a cutting insert may be manufactured from a material comprising e.g. one or more of cemented carbide, ceramics, cubic boron nitride, polycrystalline diamond, and/or cermet.
  • the raw material in the form of powder is pressed in a die to form a green body.
  • Multiaxial pressing (MAP) may be utilised for forming the green body.
  • MAP makes it possible to produce green bodies with more complex shapes.
  • the green body as such is porous.
  • the green body When sintered, the green body is compacted, shrinks in size and forms the cutting insert.
  • Surfaces and cutting edges of the cutting insert may be ground after sintering.
  • abutment faces of the cutting insert which are arranged to abut against support surfaces of the milling tool, may be ground to specific tolerances.
  • EP 3072616 discloses a cutting insert comprising an insert body having a central longitudinal axis.
  • the insert body comprises a first radial side and a second radial side.
  • a first axial side comprises a first relief face, a second relief face, and a first recess having a first bottom surface.
  • the first and second relief faces and the first bottom surface are arranged such that each point of them is visible from either a first side view towards the first radial side or from a second side view towards the second radial side, and such that the insert body is longer along the longitudinal direction at a central portion towards the central longitudinal axis than at an outer portion towards one of the first or second radial side seen in a section of a median plane through the insert.
  • the cutting insert is formable by multiaxial pressing (MAP) with a partition of a relevant pressing tool at the central longitudinal axis.
  • MAP multiaxial pressing
  • the first and second relief faces, and the first recess are formed in the MAP operation.
  • the insert may distort during a subsequent sintering process. Resulting errors in the shape of the insert body have to be taken account of in the process of designing the pressing tool for MAP Alternatively, errors in shape have to be corrected in grinding operations, following the sintering.
  • the cutting insert is an insert suitable for a milling tool and comprises:
  • a MAP pressing tool for forming a green body comprises two side parts configured for forming the circumferential surface.
  • the two side parts can be retracted after the MAP operation in a linear path of motion from the finish-pressed green body in such a way that each point on the surfaces of the two parts immediately clears from the green body.
  • the cutting insert is configured for manufacturing utilising MAP.
  • the circumferential surface of the insert can be formed by two side parts of the MAP pressing tool, which two side parts meet each other along one plane - the longitudinal plane. This, in its turn, simplifies manufacturing of the pressing tool, makes it possible to easier achieve the tolerances which are necessary for good tolerances of the insert and decrease the thickness and the size of burrs on the insert, which burrs appear on the green body (and due to that on the insert too after subsequent sintering) in the area of the borderline between the two side parts of the pressing tool.
  • the cutting insert may be manufacture utilising MAP with improved form stability during sintering.
  • the cutting insert may herein alternatively be referred to simply as the insert.
  • the cutting insert is configured to be a square shoulder milling cutting insert and to be fixed in an insert seat of a square shoulder milling tool.
  • the square shoulder milling tool is configured for cutting a 90° shoulder in a workpiece.
  • the cutting insert may preferably be manufactured from a cemented carbide material or cermet, but it may alternatively comprise e.g. one or more of ceramics, cubic boron nitride, and/or polycrystalline diamond.
  • the cutting insert may be coated with surface coatings such as e.g. titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride, and/or aluminium oxide.
  • the first and second sides of the cutting insert face approximately in opposing tangential directions of a rotational direction of the square shoulder milling tool.
  • the first pair of opposing side surfaces face in opposing radial directions of the square shoulder milling tool.
  • the second pair of opposing side surfaces face in opposing axial directions of the square shoulder milling tool.
  • the first and second sides of the cutting insert are preferably provided with flat or generally flat tangential support surfaces which are parallel or substantially parallel to the median plane.
  • the insert may be provided with a screw hole for a simple mounting of the insert in an insert seat of the milling tool.
  • the first inner angle and the second inner angle may be within a range of 91 - 115 degrees, preferably within a range of 94 - 110 degrees.
  • a positive relief angle in a range of 1 - 25 degrees, preferably within a range of 4 - 20 degrees may be provided.
  • the first inner angle and the second inner angle are preferably but not necessarily equal to each other along the first respective second surface-wiping secondary cutting edges.
  • the circumferential surface is comprising corner surfaces extending between the first side and the second side and connecting each surface of the first pair of opposing side surface to each surface of the second pair of opposing side surfaces.
  • Both the first axial relief face and the first axial abutment face are adjacent to a first corner surface and preferably tangentially connected to the first corner surface.
  • Both the second axial relief face and the second axial abutment face are adjacent to a second corner surface and preferably tangentially connected to the second corner surface. Thanks to this, the second pair of opposing side surfaces are simplified which contributes to a simplification of the pressing tool parts that are creating or forming the second pair of opposing side surfaces which in its turn improves the tolerances of the final insert.
  • the main cutting edge (e.g. the first main cutting edge) is configured for cutting a 90° shoulder or wall in the workpiece, in relation to the surface-wiping secondary cutting edge (e.g. the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge) extending in a plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the square shoulder milling tool and configured for surface-wiping the workpiece surface extending perpendicularly to the axial direction of the square shoulder milling tool.
  • the main cutting edge (e.g. the first main cutting edge) extends axially away from a first axial end of the tool toward a second axial end of the tool, which second axial end is opposite to the first end of the tool.
  • the main cutting edge has preferably but not necessarily a positive axial slope.
  • the surface-wiping secondary cutting edge (e.g. the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge) has a radial extension and extends in a direction from the radial periphery of the tool and radially inwardly.
  • the surface-wiping secondary cutting edge can be oriented in a radial direction toward the rotation axis of the tool.
  • the cutting insert is a double-sided cutting insert.
  • the cutting insert may advantageously provide a total of four indexable cutting edges to be used for square shoulder milling.
  • the partitioning line may be a straight line.
  • the first and second surface groupings may be even more easily formable in a MAP operation.
  • the pressing tool to be utilised in the MAP operation is easily manufactured.
  • the partitioning line of the cutting insert may be formed where two parts of the pressing tool abut against each other.

Namely, at the least along the partitioning line, the cutting insert thus, may not comprise any recesses, which may affect the form stability of the cutting insert when the green body is sintered after a MAP operation.
  • the partitioning line may extend perpendicularly to the median plane.
  • the pressing tool to be utilised in the MAP operation is easily manufactured, the tolerances can be furthermore and easier improved and the burrs are furthermore decreased.
  • the partitioning line of the cutting insert may be formed where two parts of the pressing tool abut against each other.
  • an obtuse third inner angle is formed between the first surface grouping and the second surface grouping.
  • the third inner angle might be in the interval from 150 - 178 degrees, preferably in the interval from 164 - 172 degrees, preferably approximately 168 degrees.
  • the first axial abutment face may form a substantially flat surface.
  • the first axial abutment face may form a surface suitable for abutting against an axial support surface in an insert seat of a square shoulder milling tool. Since the cutting insert has 180° rotational symmetry with respect to rotation about the second axis and/or the first axis and/or the centre axis, the first axial abutment face may abut against the axial support surface when a different cutting edge of the cutting insert than the first cutting edge is positioned in the insert seat for cutting engagement with a workpiece. As the first axial abutment face is a substantially flat surface, the abutment against the axial support surface is easier to control, which contributes to a decrease of the axial tolerances of the tool.
  • the first axial abutment face may extend perpendicularly to the median plane.
  • a more exact positioning of the cutting insert in an insert seat of a square shoulder milling tool may be achieved. More specifically, a deviation from a target thickness of the cutting insert, i.e. in a direction along the centre axis of the insert, may not affect axial runout of the cutting insert, or at least may affect axial runout only to a limited extent, when the cutting insert is mounted in the insert seat of the square shoulder milling tool.

  • a deviation from 0 degrees can be within some degrees but in spite of that the thickness variation of the cutting insert will not substantially affect the axial position of the cutting insert in the insert seat.
  • the first axial abutment face extending perpendicularly to the median plane, as the first axial abutment face abuts against the axial support surface in the insert seat as discussed above, entails that thickness variations of the cutting insert do not, or substantially not, affect the axial position of the cutting insert in the insert seat.

  • the first axial abutment face may form at least 30% of the first surface grouping. In this manner, the first axial abutment face may form a large part of the first surface grouping. As such, good form stability may be provided during sintering of the cutting insert. Moreover, the first axial abutment face may provide stable axial support when abutting against an axial support surface in an insert seat of a milling tool.
  • the first auxiliary cutting edge may comprise at least a second cutting edge part of the first auxiliary cutting edge, said second cutting edge part being closer to the longitudinal plane than the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge.
  • the first axial relief face may comprise at least a second part of the first axial relief face, said second part being adjacent to the second cutting edge part of the first auxiliary cutting edge, wherein said second part of the first axial relief face may create an obtuse fourth inner angle with the first part of the first axial relief face. In this manner, the first and second parts of the first axial relief face do not extend in one and the same plane.
  • the second cutting edge part of the first auxiliary cutting edge can be positioned furthest out in the longitudinal direction and separated from the work-piece surface created by the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge, without a big and abrupt change of the direction of the first auxiliary cutting edge (seen in a view along the first axis) in the transition between the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge and the second cutting edge part of the first auxiliary cutting edge.
  • the part of the pressing tool which creates the first side (and/or the part of the pressing tool which creates the second side) is not subject to high stress concentrations in the area of the transition between the first surface-wiping secondary cutting edge and the second cutting edge part of the first auxiliary cutting edge.
  • the first axial relief face when seen in different sections in parallel with the longitudinal plane and through the first auxiliary cutting edge, in each of said different sections in parallel with the longitudinal plane the first axial relief face may form a fifth inner angle in relation to the median plane measured adjacent to the auxiliary cutting edge.
  • the fifth inner angle differs for at least some of said different sections in parallel with the longitudinal plane.
  • the first axial relief face may be arranged such that an uncomplex transition to at least some adjacent surfaces, such as the first axial abutment face, may be achieved. In turn, this may provide simple connections between the first axial relief face and at least some adjacent surfaces.
  • corresponding parts of a pressing tool utilised in a MAP operation may be uncomplex in a corresponding manner.

  • the fifth inner angle, at an end of the first axial relief face close to the longitudinal plane may be equal to or substantially equal to an inner angle of the partitioning line to the median plane.
  • a simple transition from the first axial relief face to the partitioning line, and/or to the axial abutment faces as the case may be, may be achieved.
  • corresponding parts of a pressing tool utilised in a MAP operation may be uncomplex in a corresponding manner.
  • a less complex pressing tool provides characteristics suitable for manufacturing in a cost-efficient manner. This also provides for higher precision, i.e. a decrease in tolerances, in the forming of the green body and the manufacturing of the cutting insert.

  • corresponding parts of a pressing tool utilised in a MAP operation may be uncomplex in a corresponding manner.
  • a less complex pressing tool provides characteristics suitable for manufacturing in a cost-efficient manner. This also provides for higher precision, i.e. a decrease in tolerances, in the forming of the green body and the manufacturing of the cutting insert.
